Celebrating Mother’s Day, actress Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde shared this throwback photo of herself with her mum on her wedding day and paid a tribute to her late mum. She wrote:
“My mother … Yesterday was your son’s wedding… I fought tears through it all, wishing You and Dad were there. I imagined and looked, lost but … Healing. I am consoled by these thoughts of how happy you were on my wedding day …just months to your passing… Oh sweet mother. You were strong, resilient, powerful, you showed me Christ even though were not born into that faith and even when life threw you into being a widow, you staggered up and held us walking, crawling to the finish line. I love you Omo baba alagbafo of adatan, Omo iya Olowu of Owu, Omoge Oluwatoyin nee Oguntade. Omo EGBA to sure! Fine woman keep turning heads in heaven my outstandingly beautiful mother. We continue to honor you. Yes you were here. You left your mark. Cherish your mother today. Mrs Oluwatoyin Amori Jalade 53-01. #happymothersday #mamajal”
